"Two French police officers have been arrested for allegedly raping a young woman while she was in custody at a court, a prosecutor said on Thursday. The woman who accused the two officers said the alleged assault took place overnight Tuesday to Wednesday in Bobigny, a town north of Paris, prosecutor Eric Mathais said. Earlier Wednesday, the woman had been brought before the Bobigny public prosecutor's office for "acts of parental neglect", he added."
"The woman is 26, while the two accused officers -- who "have not been police officers for long" -- are 23 and 35, according to a source close to the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Mathais declined to give further details because the investigation is ongoing. France's internal police investigation service, the IGPN, is looking into the case. France has been rocked by a series of high-profile rape cases in recent months that have sparked a debate about consent."
"Its parliament on Wednesday adopted a bill defining rape as any non-consensual sexual act, a vote hailed by supporters as a move from "a culture of rape to a culture of consent"."
